This graphic will print
on a large index card. Use the unprinted surface of a recycled
greeting card for a sturdier box.

Fill the box with tiny ornaments
made from jewelry findings, beads, or fimo. Make several boxes
to store all your tiny Christmas treasures.

Glass ornaments were once considered
a sign of wealth. Prosperous households owned and used as many
as a tree could hold.

History Of Shiny Brite

Worried a European war
might cut off the supply of German glass ornaments, US importer
Max Eckhardt joined with the Corning Glass Company to mass produce
ornaments under the "Shiny Brite" name. At peak, Corning
produced as many as 2,000 ornaments per hour on machines once
used to manufacture light bulbs.

Production for the Shiny
Brite company began in 1937 and lasted well into the 1950's.
This box is just one of many that packaged these vintage American
made bulbs. Costing just pennies a piece, many millions were
sold. Today both the ornaments and boxes are prized by collectors.

Shiny Brite is now a
registered trademark of Christopher
Radko who has
again begun producing these much loved family treasures of yesteryear.
